For those of you who believe eating black eyed peas in the New Year
will bring you luck (and we can certainly all use a little more luck) this healthy bean salad is for you! Whether you eat this as a salad or serve it as a dip with some baked chips, the zesty flavors in this salad is sure to turn you into a fan of black-eyed peas.

I tested this out on my friends this weekend and it got a thumbs up from everyone. The earthy taste of the beans are balanced with sweet corn, avocado, lime juice, garlic and cilantro to brighten them up. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

I'm getting the stuff I don't already have at the store tomorrow to make this! It is still lucky if it's on New Years Day, right? ;) I haven't made anything off of your site that I don't enjoy Gina! Wishing you and your family and healthy and happy New Year!

Love this recipe. I've made it several times and it is always a hit! Great for summer bar-b-queues. For New Year's Day we have the black eyed peas for luck and cabbage for prosperity, but this year, we are adding the cabbage in the form of slaw on top of delicious pulled pork sandwiches - and tomorrow we return to sensible eating. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! (do you have a low sugar cole slaw dressing recipe?)

I saw this recipe last night and thought instead of plain blackeyed peas I would try it with dinner...not fond of cold food...this was amazing!! My family loved it and we had no left overs. I will definitely be making it again!! This is a keeper!!

Ciao Gina Auguri e Buon Anno on this Epiphany here in Praiano Italy. Just wanted you to know that I was just making beds with the usual BBC on the TV and "Click" (a feature that showcases websites of interest) and I grabbed a pen (I have found out many, many new and interesting bits here). Directly following 'Great British Chefs' came 'SKINNYTASTE'...this is awesome ! Arrivederci from Praiano on Italy's Perfect Amalfi Coast...Barbara McKee

Made this today with black beans because that's what I had on hand and ate on top of some greens for lunch. Was delicious. I want you to know how much I appreciate your website and your cookbook! I've got Honey sesame chicken waiting for me at home in the crockpot.
